CD Projekt Red has added Baldur's Gate 3 writer Baudelaire Welch to its team for the upcoming Witcher multiplayer project, currently known as Project Sirius. Welch announced the move on LinkedIn, expressing excitement about writing for a studio they described as one of the genre's most beloved celebrants.
Welch previously served as senior narrative designer at Larian Studios, where they led the Dark Urge Origin storyline in Baldur's Gate 3, contributed to Astarion's romance scenes, and worked on all companion questlines. Their other credits include game design work on Crusader Kings 3 and collaboration with Immortality creator Sam Barlow and filmmaker Brandon Cronenberg on psychological horror titles.
